Taylor Made Limited Edition SLDR White Driver Details

SLDR's CG location is both low and forward, due in large part to the large, 20-gram sliding weight on the sole. That promotes a dramatic leap in distance.

Moving the CG forward in a driver is a monumental shift in metalwood thinking. For years it's been accepted that low and back was the ideal CG location for a driver. TaylorMade has found that this is not the best way to generate the most distance.

Long distance comes from combining fast ball speed, high launch-angle and low spin-rate. TaylorMade has discovered that moving the CG forward promotes more ball speed and less spin. To launch the ball on a high enough angle to maximize distance, most golfers benefit from increasing their loft, some by as much as two or three degrees.

In addition to the low-forward CG benefits, the SLDR weight also represents a complete reinvention of movable weight, making it more effective and easier to use. Movable weight shifts the clubhead's CG horizontally toward either the heel, to promote a draw, or toward the toe, to promote a fade. SLDR's sliding weight allows you to shift the CG far enough to promote a side-to-side trajectory change of up to 30 yards.

The SLDR weight slides on the track and never comes loose from the clubhead. To slide the weight to any of the 21 positions on the track, simply loosen the screw, slide the weight, then tighten the screw. It takes as little as ten seconds. And the sole is marked with the words "fade" at the toe-end of the track and "draw" at the heel-end of the track to make it clear where you should position the weight to promote the shot-shape you want.

SLDR also incorporates TaylorMade's Loft-sleeve Technology, which allows you to adjust the loft. You can choose from 12 positions within a range of plus-or-minus 1.5 degrees of loft change.

Aesthetically, SLDR's confluence of shape, color and visual accents make it one of the most visually compelling clubs TaylorMade has ever created. Its striking modern-classic shape, white crown and black "button-back" all adds up to a remarkably beautiful appearance at address. And the clean design of SLDR's movable weight mechanism, including the single, blue weight and the track it slides in makes its appearance equally striking.

"The white crown with black button-back delivers a remarkable appearance
at address. Many golfers fell in love with white when it came out in
2011, and now we are delivering a limited edition white SLDR with low
and forward CG for more distance when you loft up."-Brian Bazzell, Sr Director of Metalwood Product Creation
